Check out this award-winning interactive eBook!

Last month at DevLearn 2013 conference, I participated in the 9th Annual eLearning DemoFest event and showcased an Interactive eBook for iPad on how to use Adobe Presenter to create eLearning courses. There were 81 participants at DemoFest showing off their latest and greatest development efforts, offering the DevLearn conference attendees an opportunity to see a wide variety of solutions to common eLearning challenges, and information about the tools, technologies and processes they used to build them. And the good news is that we won Best of Show-Vendor and Best Open Entry awards for the interactive eBook on Adobe Presenter.

What was the purpose of creating this eBook?

Adobe Presenter 9 is an authoring tool to create eLearning courses rapidly. There are tons of recorded webinars, video tutorials, and help guides available for learning how to use the tool, but there’s no book available on how to optimally use the tool to create effective eLearning. This eBook is an attempt to provide one-stop solution to create eLearning courses using Adobe Presenter 9.

Which tools were used to create this eBook?

This eBook was brought to life using various Adobe tools and services. Here’s a list of tools I used:

Adobe Photoshop: To design the page layouts and artwork

Adobe Captivate: To record the simulation, add quiz questions and interactions

Adobe Presenter: To record HD demonstrations

Adobe Muse: To create interactions

Adobe Edge Animate: To create HTML5 animations

Adobe InDesign: To create the eBook and embed artwork, simulations, interactions, questions, and animations build using other tools.

Adobe Digital Publishing Suite: To publish the eBook

Hi. I logged into content viewer but don’t see the book. Could be timing.

Dr. Pooja Jaisingh

Hi Mimi, please use the same email id (as your Adobe id) that you’ve used to post this comment and you will see the eBook. I can see that you’ve posted your comments with two different email ids so i’ve give you access for both. Let me know if you still don’t see the book.

Thank you. I don’t see it in my content viewer, is there a process I have to follow to access it. Tanks Again

Dr. Pooja Jaisingh

I’ve given you access for the email id you’ve used to post this comment. Hope you’re using the same email id as your Adobe id.

Alok Gupta

Aah, that is the problem. I use my work id for Adobe and other one for discussion forums etc. Will it be terribly inconvenient for you to give me access on alok@umn.edu which is my adobe id. Again, I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience.

Alok

Dr. Pooja Jaisingh

No problem. I’ve shared it with you.

Hello Pooja,
I am a big fan of yours, Can I get to see the book?
Also is there a way where i can get my queries resolved by your answers.

I would very much like to look at what you have been able to creat with these tools. I am a CC and Captivate subscriber. Thanks

Jeff

I would very much like to read your book as a CC and Captivate subscriber.
Thanks

Dr. Pooja Jaisingh

Hi Jeff, I’ve shared the eBook with you.

Jeff

Thank you for sharing the eBook. As I looked through it one feature that caught my eye was the accordion in the “Video Recording” page. Is this a native feature MSO in InDesign or was this developed in Presenter and then inserted as an overlay in InDesign.

Thanks much
Jeff

Dr. Pooja Jaisingh

Hi Jeff, I created this interaction using Adobe Muse and embedded it in InDesign document as a web object.

Jeff

Thank you very much. I do like the web overlay feature in InDesign. I have used in frequently. I especially like being able to create interactions in Captivate, export as HTML and then insert into InDesign, it opens up a whole new world of options.

Thanks again

Dr. Pooja Jaisingh

I agree Jeff. It’s a great option. You can even host content on web server or an LMS and embed it in InDesign document as web object.
